Routing Vias

Alvaro Lopez , 10-21-2020, 09:37 AM
Dear,

I have a question about routing and vias placement. "For example, if you have a 6 layers PCB, a microvia from layer 1 to layer 2, a buriedvia from layer 2 to layer 5 and I would like to get to layer 3. Is it necessary the small connection between vias on layer 2 (through a small track) ? Or is it possible to place those two vias (micro and buried) one next to the other in a vertical position all way down. In other words, what I'm saying is, place the micro via and under this the buried via, I noticed Altium allows me to get to layer 3 without a connection (track) between vias"

Sorry for the question I new in Altium. I hope you get me.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,

It's possible to stack via structures, but it's usually best to avoid doing this. The connection can be unreliable in rugged conditions.

You should not put a micro via on top of a buried via (stacked). Not only is it unreliable in rugged conditions and @WhoKnewKnows mentions, it can already fail during assembly.

You can consider to use also a through hole via for that connection
PS: I agree with @WhoKnewKnows and @qdrives
